Simon's 4-Motion Bora VR6

[trickysimon]

Hey guys, kinda new to this site as I've only owned an aircooled up untill now.
Picked up my first watercooled on the weekend:
2001 4-Motion VR6 Bora. One owner and just over 100,000kms.
I am pleased to report that it goes like a rocket ship

Very very nice mate. Looks like a perfect clean example of one of the best newage VWs IMO!

[AusScare]

I LOVE IT!!! Great car, lucky to have one on your P's! Welcome.

Awesome pickup, white is such a great colour for styling!

P.S. Is that a Mk3 I see in the driveway?

[DubSteve]

Good stuff mate, glad you enjoy her

welcome to the Bora v6 4mo family..

Manaz also has a near perfect white 4mo, so its good to see another here.

Any grand plans or just happy to keep it stock for a while?

Only the second Bora V6 4Motion I've seen in white too (mine being the other). So of course, I'm all for your selection!

[trickysimon]

Thanks guys!
TazzyVR6: Yep nicely spotted, that is my brothers VR6 Mk3 Golf.

goodfella: More than happy with keeping it stock at the moment. But down the track would love to stick a VF Engineering supercharger on there (I'm a bit of a speed junkie)

Manaz: Yeh it was hard to find one in white so I had to look around for a while. This one turned out perfect: same state, awesome condition and BARGAIN price!

Gimme a sec while I zip up my flamesuit.... ok, now that i have that on, if you are a speed freak I'd suggest that for outright speed and HP a turbo or Twin-turbo set-up will always beat a supercharger. Ofcourse, the difference is what you want and the way you want to drive.

As we all know, Supers are always on (mechanical) so you're on boost far quicker and have a far more usable power range, though the total power output is, on average, lower than a turbo. And therein lies the tradeoff.

I wake up one morning and want a 'charger on my Bora. Then I see that youtube video of that Black Mk4 R32 HGP twin turbo and I want one. To be honest, I'd want a well sorted Charge Bora than a turbo set up, but thats just me.

I am also of the opinion from research that a Charger Bora is cheaper than a Turbo in terms of outlay. I *think* the ECU tuning is tougher on the Boras though as they are rare in Oz.

Ahh but he is on his P's, no turbo for this Bora for a while.

Nice car! Does look good in white.

Well, if only I could have been so lucky to have a mint Bora as my P's car!!!! In that case, keep great care of her and slowly add things over time for comfort and handling, then braking, then save for when you want to go down the forced induction route.

[trickysimon]

I couldn't get a supercharger either untill I'm off my Ps anyway.
I get my full license in August so not that far away. Prob wont do much to it for now as I dont really wanna void the 3 year dealer warranty that I got with it.

[Dyldo]

These two youtubes just changed everything for me, and i have made my choice. Turbo ftw!

wtf is a supercharger?
